Sat, 16 Jun 2012 03:57:16 +0000http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/?p=13194#comment-46990{ROE.001.A.01} DISTINCTION v. DISCRIMINATION. (Cue
{ROE.001.A.02} the music for a roadtrip of hard thought.)
{ROE.001.A.03} EQUAL PROTECTION’s on the map in blue.
{ROE.001.A.04} (Remembering where Bush v. Gore was fought.)

{ROE.001.A.05} Can PUBLIC UNIONS and GAY MARRIAGE drive
{ROE.001.A.06} together in a ragtop Thunderbird?
{ROE.001.A.07} Like Thelma and Louise, could they survive
{ROE.001.A.08} Wisconsin’s mis en scene? OR have some BLURRED …

{ROE.001.A.09} … (as may have well the courts) where lines are drawn?
{ROE.001.A.10} And can time’s arrow never be renocked
{ROE.001.A.11} before the public unions’ legal dawn?
{ROE.001.A.12} (And courts the anti-homo-wed laws mocked?)

[NOTE: This is the WORST Shakespearean-form rhetorical-verse sonnet I have EVER composed — perhaps because while I must hope no one will believe this horrifying conceptual bridge is reasonable, they may well — and so the trajectory of gay marriage acceptance will go to hell along with public unions. Don’t tell! :-) ALSO NOTE: This is also a test of how this comment box processes formatting. MODERATORS: Do as you will, especially if line breaks are not preserved.]
